Teen Causes Train Disruption Near Aller Bridge

A 17-year-old male from Berlin, a Romanian national, caused a disruption to train traffic between Vorsfelde and Wolfsburg on Friday afternoon. The incident occurred near the Aller Bridge.

The teen was walking on the train tracks, heading towards Wolfsburg Central Station, and his actions resulted in an ICE train having to emergency brake in Wolfsburg. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

The train driver noticed the 17-year-old on the tracks and applied the brakes to prevent a collision. This sudden stop caused the train traffic between Vorsfelde and Wolfsburg to come to a standstill for nearly an hour. The tracks remained closed for an additional 45 minutes.

Many passengers were affected by the closure, and the incident caused significant disruption to train traffic in the area. The 17-year-old was eventually removed from the danger zone by the police, but no further details about the removal process were provided.

A procedure for dangerous interference with rail traffic has been initiated against the 17-year-old, but no additional information about the consequences of the initiated procedure was given. The identity of the 17-year-old has not been disclosed.

No new information about the identity, injuries, or nationality of any other individuals involved in the incident was provided. The incident remains under investigation by local authorities.
